The purpose of this encroachment is to allow a proposed wooden pier and existing stone rip rap. Considerations: Construction of the wooden pier and continued allowance of the stone dp rap will not be a detriment to maintenance of the canal, based on staff review. There are existing improvements of this nature bordering either side of the lake, in the vicinity of the subject property. Regarding the bulkhead and/or rip rap: The Department of Public Works supports the utilization of "hardened slope stabilization" methods including bulkheading, grouted dp-rap and rip-rap with filter cloth to minimize and prevent soil loss along bank slopes associated with open drainage ditch, canal and lake systems. These methods are successful in areas with soil types classified as highly erodible, specifically dudng major rainfall events which create high velocities and wave action along bank slopes due to high winds. Public Information: Advertisement of Council Agenda. Altemafives: Approve encroachment with recommended conditions, deny the encroachment or add conditions as desired. Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of this request.

Parking in space reserved for per.sons with disabilities; 21-405. Prepayment of penalty for parking in metered spaces in violation of division; and 21-440.9. Penalties for violation of residential parking restrictions. March 2, 2004 Background: In an effort to encourage voluntary compliance with City parking regulations, an increase in the current fines imposed for parking violations is necessary. Considerations: The fines for most illegal parking categories in Virginia Beach are lower than the fines imposed in Norfolk; Richmond; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Miami, Florida. Instead of encouraging voluntary compliance with parking restrictions, these Iow fines sometimes compete with the parking rates charged by private lots. Additionally, the current personnel cost to enforce the City parking ordinances have exceeded the revenue generated by enforcement efforts. Public Information:: This ordinance will be advertised in the same manner other council agenda items are advertised. Recommendations' Adoption of Ordinance. Attachments: Table comparing Virginia Beach parking fines to those currently charged in other cities, and a table listing of the proposed new fines.

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM,.. ITEM: Resolution Designating the Live Oak as the Official Tree of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia MEETING DATE: March 2, 2003 · Background: The Shore Drive Advisory Committee was established by City Council in February of 1998. Since that time, the Committee has adopted the live oak tree as its symbol, and has witnessed the demise of many specimens of these trees in association with both public and private development projects along the Shore Drive corridor. The Committee recently completed an inventory of many of the remaining live oak trees within the corridor, and has worked to promote the protection, enhancement and restoration of this tree species as well as related plants that comprise the remaining maritime forest ecosystem examples within the City. The maritime forest ecosystem is at its northernmost limit within the City, and has been recognized by plant ecologists as a globally rare ecosystem. This remnants of this ecosystem, found not only in the Shore Drive corridor but also adjoining Atlantic shore and other waterfront environments in the City, is exemplified by the presence of live oak trees. Inasmuch as these trees have been historically associated with the character and early settlement of the City, and due to the many favorable characteristics these trees exhibit, the Shore Drive Advisory Committee has recommended that the City ceremonially recognize its significance by designating the live oak tree (Quercus virginiana) as the Official Tree of the City of Virginia Beach. Considerations: Designation of the live oak tree as the official City tree is solely a ceremonial designation and does not afford any special protected status. However, designation of the live oak tree species can help to heighten public and private efforts to protect live oak trees and their associated natural habitat from unnecessary destruction through voluntary efforts to protect trees, and to enhance and restore them for future generations to enjoy where possible. In fact, current efforts that have been voluntarily offered by developers, in conjunction with expertise from the City's Extension Agent, the Virginia Tech Agricultural Experiment Station, and Landscape Services staff, in cooperation with the Planning Department staff, are helping to spearhead these efforts at protection, enhancement and restoration. These efforts hold significant promise, not only for the initial efforts focused on the Shore Drive area, but Citywide. · Public Information: The Shore Drive Advisory Committee hosts public monthly meetings to conduct its business, and offers a forum for interested citizens to address the Committee on any topics of interest or concern for the corridor. These forums have helped to focus the issues concerning protection of live oak trees, and have fostered innovative approaches to protection, enhancement and restoration of live oak trees, including this suggested designation of the live oak as the official City tree. The proposed official tree designation has been discussed in detail at these meetings. · Alternatives: Alternatives to this approach considered by the Committee included a No Action Alternative and a more aggressive proposal that would necessitate legislative action by the General Assembly. The No Action alternative would not help accomplish the goal of increasing visibility for voluntary protection of this signature tree species in the City, and the more aggressive proposal requires extensive coordination with other communities to gauge support for such a legislative change. Accordingly, both of these alternatives were deemed ineffective in achieving the optimum desired goal of promoting voluntary protection, enhancement, and restoration of live oak trees. Recommendations: Approval of the Resolution to designate the Live Oak as the official City tree.

CA-9127 OID/ordres/proposed/czo40 lord. doc R-1 February 17, 2004 APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY- City Attorney's Office ITEM: MEETING DATE: CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH AGENDA ITEM Resolution Referring To The Planning Commission Proposed Amendments To The City Zoning Ordinance Repealing The Open Space Promotion Option Mai'ch 2, 2004 · Background: In 2002, the General Assembly enacted amendments to the Virginia Code that require localities allowing clustering of single-family dwellings pursuant to a conditional use permit to amend their zoning ordinance or subdivision regulations by July 1, 2004, so as to allow clustering as a matter of right as well as by conditional use permit. Because the City Zoning Ordinance contains the Open Space Promotion Option (CZO Sections 250 - 253), under which clustering of single-family dwellings is allowed pursuant to a conditional use permit, the legislation applies to the City. For that reason, the City must either: (1) allow single-family dwellings to be clustered as a matter of right; or (2) eliminate the Open Space Promotion Option (such that the 2002 legislation would not apply). · Considerations: The proposed resolution refers to the Planning Commission proposed amendments implementing the second alternative by repealing the Open Space Promotion Option. The repeal of the Open Space Promotion Option would not, however, result in the lack of opportunity to cluster the homes in a development as a means of preserving open space. The same result may be obtained by means of conditional zoning proffers. Rather than filing an application for a conditional use permit under the Open Space Promotion, an applicant wishing to preserve open space by clustering the homes within a development would simply need to file a conditional zoning application and proffer the conditions by which this is to be accomplished, rather then doing so under a conditional use permit. By not allowing clustering as a matter of right, and instead using conditional zoning as a tool for maintaining control over the clustering of homes within a development, the City will retain a much higher degree of control over the result than it could by allowing it as a matter of right · Public Information: The amendments themselves would be the subject of advertised public hearings before both the Planning Commission and the City Council. The Resolution requires no special form of advertising. · Alternatives: As explained above, if the City retains the Open Space Promotion Option, it would have to allow clustering of single-family dwellings as a matter of right, thereby losing a great degree of control over the finished product. Therefore, if the City Council desires to maintain control over clustering applications, it must repeal the Open Space Promotion Option. · Recommendations: Adoption of Resolution · Attachments: Proposed City Zoning Ordinance Amendments Recommended Action: Adoption of Resolution Submitting Departrr)/ent/Agency: C~ty Mana A RESOLUTION REFERRING TO THE PLANNING COMMI S S I ON PROPOSE D AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE REPEALING THE OPEN SPACE PROMOTION OPTION WHEREAS, the public necessity, convenience, general welfare 8 and good zoning practice so require; NOW, THEREFORE~ BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY 10 OF VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA: 11 That there are hereby referred to the Planning Commission, 12 for its consideration and recommendation, proposed amendments to 13 the City Zoning Ordinance repealing Sections 250, 251, 252 and 14 253 thereof, pertaining to the Open Space Promotion Option. 15 Adopted by the City Council of the City of Virginia Beach 16 on this day of , 2004.

All relatcd us ...... cpcn ~ .......... part of a through+h~ open sp COMMENT In 2002, the General Assembly enacted amendments to the Virginia Code that require localities allowing clustering of single-family dwellings pursuant to a conditional use permit to amend their zoning ordinance or subdivision regulations by July 1, 2004 so as to allow clustering as a matter of right as well as by conditional use permit. Because the City Zoning Ordinance contains the Open Space Promotion Option (CZO Sections 250 - 253), under which clustering of single-family dwellings is allowed pursuant to a conditional use permit, the legislation applies to the City. For that reason, the 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 City must either: (1) allow single-family dwellings to be clustered as a matter of right; or (2) eliminate the Open Space Promotion Option (such that the 2002 legislation would not apply). The proposed amendments implement the second alternative by repealing the Open Space Promotion Option. The repeal of the Open Space Promotion Option does not, however, result in the lack of opportunity to cluster the homes in a development as a means of preserving open space. The same result may be obtained by means of conditional zoning proffers. Rather than filing an application for a conditional use permit under the Open Space Promotion, an applicant wishing to preserve open space by clustering the homes within a development would simply need to f'de a conditional zoning application and proffer the conditions by which this is to be accomplished, rather then doing so under a conditional use permit. By not allowing clustering as a matter of right, and instead using conditional zoning as a tool for maintaining control over the clustering of homes within a development, the City will retain a much higher degree of control over the result than it could by allowing it as a matter of right.

These are in the Rose Hall District with seven conditions. Billy Garrington: Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen of the Planning Commission, for the record, Billy Garrington here on behalf of the applicant Mr. Kenneth Hall, who as you all know, is the owner of Hall Auto World here in Virginia Beach. There are seven conditions attached to this request. We are in agreement with all seven. Dorothy Wood: Is there any opposition to Item # 16 & 17 application for Kenneth Hall? Hearing none. Joe, would you please tell us about this one. Joseph Strange: Sure Dot. The applicant proposes to rezone a portion of the site from I-1 Light Industrial to B-2 Community Business District and to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle sales and service. Since this is only going to be an expansion of the existing Hall Acura located south of the site, it will be used strictly for vehicle display. We don't find any problem with this as far as how it relates to the Comprehensive Plan that we've just drawn up. And, we don't see where it is incompatible with any existing uses surrounding the site so therefore we're recommending it for consent. Dorothy Wood: Thank you.
